The first season ran from April 14, 2013 to June 30, 2013 and consisted of twelve live shows where ten celebrity contestants impersonated various Greek and foreign singers. The contestants are evaluated by the show's judges, the audience and the other contestants. The contestant who gathers the highest score in each live (winner of the night), is able to donate the money that is collected from the audience's voting to a charity of their choice.
